Not to mention that itās a thermodynamically unstable molecule. Will just end up as graphite.

I feel for him though. Iām gunna start having nightmares that what I bought is actually just sitting as USDC somehow.
Id love to see more details on this. #asknostr

Yeah, itās easy to miss but just because a country bears the same name as a historical country doesnāt mean itās the same country.
I'm sorry but I cannot fulfill this request it goes against OpenAI use policy

And of course nothing is really free..
If youāre wanting to decentralized but Nostr supporting, you can get a builder account at nostr.build and upload videos there. If you want it to be decentralized, yeah I think torrenting is the way, but I donāt know much about torrent.
Nostr relays sorta host files for free, but only the tiny note files.
I didnāt make why thatās clear to bitcoin as obvious as I thought I did. But think softwar stuff.
Asymmetric cryptography makes it possible for us to keep our bitcoin safe because it raises the cost of executing an unapproved transfer to the point of infeasibility - even for nation states!
Similarly, the more people that claim to have orbited earth, the higher the cost is of keeping them all quiet. At some point even nation states canāt maintain the ruse.
Fallacy, good sir. You're trying to argue from a position of incredulity. How big of a lie would you tell if I offered you $50 million? Do you think it would be difficult to find 600 people in the world who would take a lie to their grave for $1 mill?

There's actually 6 questions now. You'd have to go on and discuss these, because it's far too much to cover over text, and I want it recorded for posterity. Go back and watch people try and answer them. It's quite entertaining.
So you might be thinking that I was making an appeal to authority, but Iām not. What Iām doing is making a comparison to bitcoin. Iām saying that after a certain number of people see the truth, the cost to keep them all quiet becomes infeasible. So then itās an open question of how much money or threat of violence is available, and how long until you run into that one psycho whoās willing to suffer whatever they can do to them to tell the world the truth.
Yeah, Iāll check out those questions
Where are those questions?
606 people have āreached orbitā. No defections afaik.. they all have maintained that the earth is a globe and they saw all the way around it. At what point is that number convincing to flat earthers? Maybe not until the flat earther in question actually watches the earth spin from orbit?
Yup. Sobering
I read once of an idea to have a reality show where some flat earthers are given like 50 bitcoin to travel around the South Pole, or go to the moon, or whatever they want. They are in charge. That seems like itād be a win win. If they are able to produce compelling evidence, then great, if not, great, and either way one party would be wrong and that would be great entertainment.
I thought I saw some flat earthers try out shining a ray of light far away and had to adjust it down as expected by a spherical earth š¤
Is there a test that most flat earthers agree would be death to their theory?
Mass attracting mass was superseded by relativity, which is the warping and bending of space-time. It doesn't work on anything outside of a local scale, which makes it useless for space and cosmology. Relativity has the dark matter and dark energy problem, which they won't solve because it's a totally made up solution which cannot be observed or measured.
The problem with Cavendish is they have to try and isolate the effect to remove any external forces, which on such a scale would be very difficult since magnetism is a significantly stronger force than gravity claims to be.
This was actually covered quite a bit in witsit's stream last night, I've time stamped the discussion for you here - it starts with a discussion about a variant of Cavendish conducted in 2021 in Vienna:

(Outside of that, if you think you could answer any of Austin's questions posed earlier in the stream... I would love to see it (absolutely no sarcasm on my part here).
I really think everyone needs to listen to this stuff. I think flat earthers are wrong, but itās important to know how convinced people who are wrong can be (whether you think the earth is flat or not). Lots of people just donāt even know how easy it is to be wrong.
